Will I really hope you get to hear stalemate and RTE. stalemate sounded so ridiculous live, I cant even explain. What they did to RTE is amazing... The intro honestly almost made me shit myself. Also, they've been using a different guy for the Canadian dates, could be why.. or maybe they dislike Canada :P

Did they do the new acoustic outro for RTE? I might go down to Florida to see the last two shows. But venturing out alone a few thousands miles away and forking out roughly 300 dollars just seems like i'm asking for something to go wrong.

S'what I did! Blew a couple hundreds going to montreal from where I'm from haha.

And yeah I know why they were using a different guy. Roger had to fill in because the fill in for rob couldn't get over the border. It's rediculous, tbh.Ohwell, I'm sure I'll see it live eventually!

That's horrible mate, so glad you managed to get back in! Pretty gay how tight the security are, Chicago seems to be one of the worst for security it seems. Over here venues that don't allow crowdsurfing generally don't enforce it and if they do they let you off once. Some venues i've been to stamp you as you go over.

I remember at Newcastle on the last tour I did it and so did Chumba, we both got let back in, I didn't chance it again though, what's the policy at Leeds fest? I've read and heard mixed opinions,. do you just get let in at the back?

At the last Edinburgh show the security guy said to me 'are you okay?' when I came over and I said 'yeah'. When I went over a second time he got me and was like 'I ASKED YOU IF THAT WAS YOUR LAST ONE AND YOU SAID YEAH, YOU'RE OUT!' and started dragging me to the fire exit before stopping and saying 'nah i'm just joking mate!'.

Not sure about Leeds, but at Reading if you surf main stage you have to go out of the festival and all the way round through the main entrance. On the nme stage I was just pushed out the side like normal and could just make my way back into the main crowd. Don't know about other stages.

Thats ridiculous man, at least you got back in! Ill say this about Boston, ive never had a problem with security ever. Hell, Rou even thanked them for doing such a good job at my show (to which they seemed grateful). I have heard some pretty bad stories elsewhere though. Sadly, most security guards are meatheads and cant think logically.

I got kicked out after the second song and didn't get roger to sneak me back like will did haha lucky bastard. But you guys shoulda stayed after! Rory took us onto their bus and we got trashed with them! It totally made up for getting kicked out.

Bloody hell. So glad you managed to get back in Will, but you did get lucky. Puts me off crowd-surfing even more, it really just isn't worth taking the risk. All it takes is one dickhead to chuck you out and you're screwed.
